AII-star Novelty CombInatIOn.

Yesterday the town was placarded
with posters announcing that Frank M.
Clark's All-Star Novelty Combination of
American and European specially ar
lists will give short season at the Ha-
waiian Opera House. The company
will arrive on Tuesday by the Australia,
and their first performance takes place
the following Thursday night. We can
assure our readers that it is the best
combination of artists that has ever Wis
tied our shores. Ouda, the aerial per-
former is a wonder, and electrifes his
audience wherever he goes. Fields and
Hanson, the musical team, have world
wide reputation, while Wilson and Cam
eron, the comedians, stand at the head
of their profession. Then there is
Frank Clark with his Irish specialties,
the original Monte, or Brazilian ape
Mile. Garetta, with her fifty performing
pigeons; May Cameron, the human SER
pent, and Harry Cushman, the charac-
ter impersonator. A great treat is in
store by the visit of this combination.
Popular prices will prevail. Reserved
seats can be obtained at A NJ. Hewett's
book store, Merchant street.

SAN FRANCISCO MAIL SERVICE.

The New Zealand correspondent of
the New Bedford, Mass, standard"
has the following in a recent number :
''The California mail line, as carried out
by the Oceanic Company of San Fran
cisco, is giving every satisfaction, the
boats keeping well within the contract
time, and the comfort of the vessels and
the attentions of the officers to the pas
sengees are highly spoken of. The pres
ent contract has only about Is months
to run now, and, as have before pointed
out in my letters to the STANDARD, the
Canadians are casting longing eyes
towards the trade of these Colonies.
They will be a powerful competitor for
the next contract. 1t therefore behooves
the United States to do its utmost to
keep this California line going, and the
only way for them to do that is to sub
sidize it in such manner as will Shut
out the Canadians.

OPINION OF THE COURT.
After full consideration of the argu-
ments of counsel in this case, having
read the pleadings and evidence, we are
of opinion that the conclusions arrived
at by the Chancellor in his decision,
rendered March &c, 1887, should be
sustained with the following exception.
We are of the opinion that there was a
valid change in favor Of Parker and
Patty upon the shares of the Hawaiian
Agricultural Company, but that the eff
feet of the deed of Willfong to Patty and
Parker, dated March 81, 1884, was a re-
lease of such change.
The decree appealed from is sustained
except that payment by plaintiff should
be made in thirty days, instead of
ninety days.

SUGAR INDUSTRY IN BRAZIL.

The sugar merchants of Rio Janeiro
recently held meeting, at which there
was reached an exposition OF the state
of the sugar trade. 1t seems that in
some of the most important sugar dis
tricts of the empire the planters receive
for their raw sugar only to ? cents per
pound, and that the country is seriously
threatened with the total ruin of it's
sugar industry. 1t was resolved to
organize an association, defend the i'm
portant interests in jeopardy, and one
of the articles of the programme of this
association favors the policy of negotiat-
ing commercial treaties with sugar con-
Stunning countries, and especially
treaty of reciprocity with the United
States for the purpose of increasing the
consumption of Brazilian sugar amongst
its population, since that republic is IN
a position to become the principal sugar
market of the world. Brazil at present
exports annually from 200, 900 to 10000
tons of sugar, corresponding to about
one-fourth of the quantity consumed in
the United States.

LAST NIGHTS CONCERT.
a Large Audience and an Interest
ing Programme.

The concert at the Y. NJ. c. A. Hall
last evening, under the direction of Miss
Jennie Tuck. was a great success. The
audience was large one. and much en-
thusiasm prevailed throughout the en-
tire programme, which was of a varied
nature. We have been suffering for
some time from a dearth of musical en-
tertainments, therefore it was really a
pleasure to listen to the concert last
evening. The platform was Hastily dec
grated with ferns and evergreens
The programme opened with chorus,
"Lauda Sion," capitally rendered by
seven voices. Mrs. Bowler and Miss
Jennie Tuck played Schuloffs Second
Valse Brilliante" as a piano duet in
very artistic manner, and were loudly
applauded The next number, song,
''The Bend of the River" by Biumen-
thai, was excellently rendered by Miss
Austin, and received deserved applause.
A piano solo, "Fantasie Impromptu,"
by Chopin, was admirably interpreted
by Miss Jennie Tuck. She has a very
nice touch, and her expression was all
that could be desired. In response to
an enthusiastic encore she played Schu-
mann's ''Traumerie" in fine style. Mr..
H. w. Morse's appearance on the con-
cert platform is always welcome. He
rendered Schubert's "Erl King in his
usual we'll known style. Responding to
an encore, he gave "It was Dream"
Part two opened with song, "Truth
in Absence" beautifully sung by Mrs.
J. Bowler, who was compelled to re-
spond to an encore. Mr.. Charles
Michiels gave one OF his artistic per-
tormances on he cornet. On this occa-
sion he played Home, Sweet Home"
with variations. OF course he was en-
cored, and the audience was not salts
fed, for he had to play again. A vocal
duet by Mesdames Waller and Bowler
was exceedingly we'll rendered and en-
coreS. Miss Jennie Tuck made a second |
appearance and played a concert march |
by Wollenhaupt. She richly deserved |
the applause accorded her at the conclu-
sion, for it was given in iaultless |

Y. M. G. A.
The Regular Monthly Meeting Held
last Night.

Last evening the regular monthly
meeting of the Y. NJ. G.. A. was held in
the parlors, the President, Mr. F. j.
Lowrey, in the chair.
Four new members were elected.
It was stated that the Blue Ribbon
entertainments would be resumed Sat
urday evening, September 18th.
The report of the Treasurer, E. o.
White, showed balance on hand of
$45 SO.
The Chief Justice and the Rev. A. o.
Forbes both spoke of the grand work
being done by the Hawaiian League at
Queen Emma's Hall.
Since July 9th no less than 2, 740 per-
sons had visited the reading-room, and
838 papers had been given away.
A collection was taken up, amounting
to 81.
Mr.. S. D. Fuller, the General Secre-
tary, read his report, as follows:
Honolulu, Sept Is, 1887.
Members of the Y NJ @. AIT the
time of our last business meeting July
21st) the building was being cleaned, re-
paired and calcimined That work was
soon after completed, and the rooms
now present brighter and more invit-
ing appearance as a result. At the July
meeting your Secretary was kindly voted
a leave of absence for one month. l
sailed for Hilo August 3D. and returned
September 8th While IN Hilo l was
permitted to aid little in the Masters
work. Addressed one meeting of the
Blue Ribbon League and two Union
meetings in the Native Church-once
through an interpreter. Assisted in
three services in the Foreign Church,
one of which conducted, and explained
the nature and special value of the
work for young men, as carried on by
the Young Mems Christian Association,
closing with some suggestions that
seemed possible and practical for the
church of Hilo to carry out.
Mr.. VIM. Nicholson, voting member
of the Association, was secured to look
after the affairs at the rooms, welcome
strangers, etc. He was present during
my absence except the last few days
after the sailing of the steamer for San
Francisco, on which he went as pas
senger.
Since my return the attendance at the
rooms has been very good, but not so
many of our members step in as [ should
be glad tC see. Remember, it is your
Association, and not mine exclusively.
If members are not sufficiently inter-
ested in the institution to give it a
friendly call, invite their friends to call,
or what is much better, step in with
them. How can we reasonably expect
those outside our ranks to be attracted
and won to our side?
Since my return I have endeavored to
work up an increased interest in mem
bership among some of the younger
men of the city. 1t promises well.
Most of my personal work outside the
rooms has been in the interest of tenn
perance, work in which the encourag-
ing and discouraging are strongly mixed.
Now that the vacations are over and
the political excitement has principally
subsidized, let US as members of the Y.
NJ. G.. A. take up our particular work
with new courage and enlarged purposes.
Respectfully, S. D. FULLER.
